Q: What is special in this year’s PuszMUN edition?
EO: It’s hard to say that this particular edition is special, because each of them brings something new and extraordinary- both because of the topics and people that come to PuszMUN every year.Q: What moment in the history of PuszMUN is the most memorable for you?
EO: I have been organizing PuszMUN for 10 years, so there are a lot of moments that I will remember for a long time. But the most memorable for me is the first edition, because it was something new for me.Q: Why is it worth to take part in PuszMUN for you?
EO: This question I could answer primarily as an English teacher. I’m always happy when participants talk about breaking the language barrier. PuszMUN also gives the opportunity to meet new people, not only from our country. Taking part in the debates gives possibility to learn how to discuss controversial topics in a peaceful manner, to listen to another person and also enables to presentM your point of view in the way that doesn’t offend anybody.

For the 14th time students from I Liceum Ogólnokształące in Gorzów Wielkopolski and their guests gathered to discuss the problems of our times. This year on PuszMUN – Puszkin Model of United Nations – we welcomed delegations from Italy and Sweden. Over 150 delegates representing 46 countries take part in the deliberations. They are divided into four committiees: Human Rights Committee, Eco-Soc Committee, UNEP and Security Council.

“This year we are discussing the problems regarding migration and the integration of migrants, which has been present for a long time.” – explains Maciej Cymberkiewicz, the Co-Chair of Eco-Soc Committe. “One of the topics is the problem of discrimination on religious, gender and sexual orientation backgrounds. Debates will also concern the dangers regarding the existance of nuclear weapons.” The Opening Ceremony was held in the Gorzów Philharmonic. The floor was taken by Ewa Szmit, the Headmistress of I LO, as well as dr. Aleksandra Szczerba- Zawada, Ph.D. in law, and Marvin Mussall- the Secretary General. Later the participants could see and hear the musical performance of Aleksandra Bekierska and Aleksander Kaczmarek. Afterwards, the topics were presented to delegates by the Committees’ chairs. After a short break each delegation gave their opening speech. In the afternoon the debates have begun.

“Taking part in events like PuszMUN enables you to get to know people’s opinions, understand the problems of the modern world better and explore the cultures of different countries”- says Nur Rawashdeh, delegate from Italy.
